| Yep. That one. I also heard that quahog pearls can't be drilled either (they collapse). Might be a good rule of thumb not to drill non-nacreous pearls until someone dares to experiment!
Makes me wonder what would happen if they tried to drill the Pearl of Allah for carbon dating testing? It was never done, so we don't know.
